I was thinking an it and how skins kept revisiting the same storyline but differently in each gen like in gen one jal was pregnant but got the abortion after Chris died and then in gen two Katie was going through early menopause which I'm guessing she was trying to have a baby with the guy she was currently with and then in gen three mini got pregnant and kept the baby and we see her actually give birth to the baby how do u guys feel ab the same storyline being re-used in each gen/how they did it in each gen

Was it actually filmed inside of the real life houses or on a stage/set?

I've heard people on here talk about the show as If it isn't the perfect reflection of real life, even though it is. I'm strictly referring to the first 4 seasons through this. Well skins talks about the lives of uni students which actually happens in reality, from excessive drinking and drugs to an exploration of queerness from both genders. These things happen then we have tony who sleeps with multiple girls, openly cheats, whilst his gf knows all about this and allows it to continue. Tony's exist in real life, men who are attractive who sleep with tonnes of women whilst being in a relationship. Then sid is probably the closest and furthest character from reality. He firstly obsesses Michelle even though she has a hot bf and after years of orbiting her only when Michelle is vulnerable from Tony's action she gets with him. All the while knowing his feelings the whole time. This happens in real life to an extent, men orbiting women for long periods of times whilst they have partners in hopes to get with them, what isn't realistic is the fact he actually sleeps with her or gets another gf. Then you have the season with effy who gets with a "bad boy" James and also with a nicer guy Freddie after a little while later. This too mirrors reality where a woman goes with a man who causes trouble (which is obviously fine) then later goes for a different type of man. And finally regarding the lgbt themes in the show, there's straight girls and boys experiencing gay desires and indulging in them for the first time and fully gay characters doing this to. which is common in younger people 1/5 people in gen z being a part of lgbt. Skins is reality for most university students well the first four seasons anyways.

How is rich not mad or feeling any strong emotions when Matty comes back??

Then when Matty apologied he said that Grace says it's ok. Is it like he's imagining her again to make his own peace of mind??

I don't get what they were tryna do.

in the final scene there used to be the Spiritualized song but they replaced it with a new song and I can't seem to find. Does anybody know it?
Season 1 Episode 4 "Chris" the scene where he sits on his bed

thanks!

I’ve seen in some comments that yall think some places should be swapped, if you have suggestions I’ll change them according to the most upvoted comment

the uk version of netflix still has skins with the original soundtrack. only thing you need is a vpn. thank me later

Pls. I didn't know it was gonna be taken off and just finished season 1 yesterday and now it's not on Netflix 😭all the sites I looked at either won't load or don't have subtitles and I really need subtitles I can't understand shit

I belive cassie and maxxie should’ve interacted more then just having one scene together were she talked about her dangerous eating disorder, They either could’ve been a Good duo or the absolute worst duo in television history but let me know What you guys think

Poor girl is a prime example of what happens when someone is too nice to the wrong people. You can tell she just wanted to be in a normal relationship with cook but she was never gonna achieve that with all his baggage.. like running from the law after Foster's death, still being hung up on Effy, still being adulterous and overall, just being emotionally elusive. I love Cook but he didn't have to insist she came with him when he was running from Louie especially when he just drove back to get Charlie.

Emma has her parents house essentially cuckooed, gets pitted against another woman, her parents get killed then either in her grief, hangs herself or is executed by Louie offscreen.

All that for fancying the wrong boy. She was casted just to be treated like a ragdoll. Unfortunately a lot of people are disregarded like this so it's not even unrealistic but homegirl still deserved better.

Hey everyone,

I've been seeing a lot of drug-related discussions on this sub, and it's got me thinking. As we all know, drug use is a big part of Skins and a significant aspect of Bristol's culture. Shoutout to u/ManicPixiRiotGrrrl for sparking this thought in my mind.

Throughout the show, we see the characters using a wide variety of substances. It makes me wonder: if Channel 4 had allowed it, do you think we would have seen some of them dive into harder drugs like meth, crack, or heroin? These substances weren't shown on the show, but could they have been part of the narrative if there were no restrictions?

I'm not from the UK myself, so I can't speak to how common these drugs are in Bristol. What do you all think? Would the characters have gone down that path if it was more acceptable to portray on TV?

Why did Freddie go to John fosters house? One minute he’s telling this clearly crazy man to fuck off and the next he’s going to his house? When Freddie got to fosters house he asks “why the fuck am I at your house” like you should be asking yourself that 😭

Did Nick have an alcohol problem? I remember him walking around with a crate of beer, drunk as fuck, and none of his friends seemed to care as he bumbled around.

Did he drink heavily? I’m pretty sure I remember him doing so, but none of his so called mates were overly concerned with his drinking.

I mean, Cook knocked back his fair share, but I remember it being slightly different with Nick.

Am I not remembering this correctly?

i’m going to make eddy’s dress but i can’t find a print similar to it, does anyone have the exact/similar print?

Skins sai amanhã da Netflix, e eu não vou conseguir terminar de ver tudo. Alguém sabe pra onde vai?

I really don't understand their love story. Like. . They met in school, barely hung out or spoke to each other for an entire season and yet they were super in love. Where did that love come from??? Even after rewatching I just can't get over this. Does anybody else think about this or is there anyone who enjoys their story?

From season 1 to 6, which of the cast do you think has had the best outcome from appearing in the lime up? Also, who do you wish would make an appearance in the future that we haven't seen much of since Skins finished?

Mine was Cassie (Hannah Murrey) in Game of Thrones and I'd like to see more of Sid (Mike Bailey) in something

open to all ideas but especially interested in hearing ideas in relation to frankie’s storyline. what would you have done differently?

I'm on another binge of skins and i just don't get why they made rich's whole personality being metal to just turn him into a basic hipster looking guy straight away even when grace said she preferred his long hair he never grew it back?

Part 3 What if Effy Loved JJ not Cook or Freddie Different events would change so much for Effy,JJ,Cook and Freddie so we are going to say this

At the first episode thing don’t change Cook and Effy fall in love Until the camping trip goes wrong at Gobblers end goes terribly wrong for Effy😑

Until Cook meet his dad in season 3 Episode 10 Effy go to a phone booth and Call Freddie up and said that Cook is in trouble after sum motorbike gang are going after Cook and his Dad and wants to beat them up so Freddie and JJ go on a mission to rescue Cook but cook Dad already made a bet to Donald the bar man if he loses in a race he takes his boat and he fucks off from Bristol for good.

Freddie and JJ walks for a long time to find Cook and Effy then they get to The Dockers Club to find Cook and Effy but then Freddie noticed there was people setting something up. It was a race but then Cook walk by a see both of them and Cook said what the fuck are you doing here WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!

So all four Cook JJ Freddie and Donnie Donson do the piggyback granny race

(Event Change)

The race is started, and Freddie has just given after being shoved and punch by Cook, Freddie gives up on the race, then it was neck and neck between Cook and Donnie and both of them are shoving and biting each-other half way until they get to the finish line then out of no where JJ Gets a little quicker and runs through both and shoving pass both Cook and Donnie both of them tripping over and Cook and Donnie get into a punch out fight JJ carries on to win the race and JJ wins the races Cook Dad and Donald are confused of where they are Effy asks JJ where’s Cook and Freddie is? He was very unsure where they were.

Freddie is walking back to the pub until he sees Don is on top punching Cook on the ground multiple times Freddie rush over quickly and with one single Punch Freddie knocks Don out on the floor Freddie helps Cook stand-up to finish the race leaving Don on the floor sleeping.

Cook and Freddie manages to finish the race but are permanently disqualified for not carrying the grannies

Everyone celebrates at the pub for JJ‘s victory Donald warns Cook where my son and if you’ve done something, there’s gonna be trouble..and also tell your Dad that I’ll be there in the morning to collect my winnings 😉

Cook has a go at JJ about him losing his dad‘s boat and Effy and everything that he’s gonna lose then JJ ask both Freddie,Cook and Effy come with him to the storage room to talk.

JJ: take a seat EF Cook:JJ mate JJ: 🤐 plz… now let get down to this… no more evasion no more ohh I’m so fit and mysterious now Freddie he’s in love and Cook he loves you and just for the record I love you too… plus I won the race 😂 so two boys on girl it’s a insoluble equation unless you choose so we can get back to our lives

Effy looks at Cook first, then Freddie and then suddenly goes into the middle and looks at JJ

Events Change (Effy Choose JJ) JJ: ummmmm…. Ok Freddie: that fine by me anyway Cook: Fuck all of you….. Freddie: Yo Cook Wait… Cook: No fuck you two…. your Prince charming made a bet on you… then go on and you decide to pick this FUCKING DUMB ASS PRICK!!!………You said Effy Whoever wins the race out of ME!!!! or Freddie get to keep you very classy JJ: Cook just stay please Cook: no JJ i’m not going on my knees any more you can all fuck off lately cuz I don’t need you lot anymore (Cook walk off)

Freddie: I go chase after him you both stay there

Just then Freddie got out the pub to chase after Cook ambulance and police attend members of the public had called an ambulance for Don and police attend as-well Don wakes up with an ambulance walking with him to the pub.

Freddie: SHIT…. COOK WAIT!!! (Freddie runs after Cook)

JJ and Effy start kissing and snogging until JJ phone ring it was Freddie, Freddie warns JJ to get out the pub immediately as police are in the pub questioning people about what happened to Don, also Donald is looking for all four of us and want to kill us all and meet at Cook’s Dad boat as soon as possible and get out the pub quick

JJ barricades the storage door with a chair and bashes through to the fire exits holding hands with Effy and rushing to Cook Dad’s Boat immediately at night time all three get together, but not there was no Cook or his dad was not at the boat

JJ: where are they…. and where Cook?

Freddie: I don’t know I lost him 😔

JJ: we all going to be starting to get worried about him now

Freddie: ya..

Effy: Maybe we should hijack the boat 🚤

Freddie disagrees:No we can’t just leave Cook Can’t just hijack the boat it wrong we have to all find Cook

Effy: But he got his car

JJ: She got a fair point there Freddie… because why not 🤷‍♂️

The three of them decide to take the boat without Cook knowing but they didn’t know that Cook’s Dad is asleep inside the boat.

The next morning Cook wake up on the streets with a bottle in his hand and walk to see his Dad at the docks but then when Cook got there, the boat was gone

Cook: What the fuck man…… no no NOO!!!!!!!!YOU FUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS!!!!!!

Just then Donald and his son Don and his biker gang were on the way: Oyyyyy you put my son nearly in hospital yesterday and where the boat you fucker that my winnings

Don: OYYY COOK IM NOT DONE WITH YOU YET OF WHAT YOU FUCKING DONE TO ME!!!

Cook: oh… FUCK (Cook runs) Donald and Don (Chase after him)

Cook had no choice but to run from Donald, Don and his biker gang they we’re gaining Chase on Cook

Cook was at a dead-end on the edge of falling into the river

Cook: look you don’t have to do this

Don: Come on Cook WHERE MY DAD WINNINGS or otherwise one of my biker are going to run you fucking over with his bike

Cook swims to escape from Donald and his son Don and his biker gang and manages to get to the other side Cook run to his car and drives off very quickly.

Freddie,Effy and JJ get back home from a taxi the three as they have sold the boat for £4799 but they did not know that Freddie‘s dad is inside the boat the three of them split the money in third and carry on for the day

(Season 3 ends) Now we are going onto season four

Cook is back at his hometown but the police are looking for Cook after the clash with Don. Cook goes back to Six form and is late for his maths session everyone is shocked to see Cook back Cook goes to where all the gang hangout in quiet space at break time

Naomi: ok calm down I find them as-well ok and I ask Emily to help

Cook: Fine (Cook walks off)

At night there was a random house party. Everyone from six form was invited most of the gang were there apart from Katie (The Fitch family we’re going through bankrupt and Emily had moved out with Naomi)

But instead of Shanky getting beaten up JJ get Beaten up

Cook has piss in the toilet then he go down the stairs and see JJ and Effy kissing which has made Cook quite jealous and spots Freddie as-well And in a split of a second Cook runs at JJ and jumps on him, punches him, attack him and kicks him

Season 4 episode 3

Effy and JJ: JJ has been staying a Effy house for week now and Effy and her Mum are looking after JJ as he is still in shock and doesn’t wanna go into Six form to see Cook as-well he keeps getting locked-on Effy convince JJ just to go in to do his GCSE but he yes I do them and then he jumps on and said no I can’t I can’t!!!!

Mr Blood pull Cook to his office to tell him that he is permanently excluded from six form on immediate effects for starting the fight i’m getting in trouble with the law, Cook refuses to leave so Jonathan the security guard drags him out six form outside then suddenly the police turn up at six form to find James Cook the police found Cook at a bus stop then Cook is arrested on suspicion of one count GBH then two counts of assault and one count of attempted assault at a house party.

Cook makes his statement to say that it was his fault for beating his two mates up and told the police that Don Derson and his Biker gang tried to hurt him…

Cook: he attack me in the race first before a day later they went to chase after me

the police didn’t believe him so they put him on a house arrest and on bail immediately back to his Mum‘s house to stay for a little while

Effy manages to convince JJ to go back to 6th form to finish off his GCSEs the gang discusses that Cook has been permanent excluded from Six form has been arrested and is on a house arrest and on bail JJ started feeling really sorry for Cook and felt like that his friendship with Cook has just collapsed Freddie tells him not to think about it and to move on but he is always still part of the gang he just has to come back and apologise to all of us and when he apologise and accepts that you’re with Effy then everything will be okay we will get along as normal.

The next day, some of the gang get together to see Cook at his mum‘s house JJ decides to go to see if Cook is okay Freddie, Effy, Emily and Naomi go as-well to surprise Cook. Cook was not impressed seeing all of them at the moment but after a good talk with JJ, Cook manages to get along with sum of the gang, Cook and JJ shake hands and Cook apologised to JJ for attack him.

Cook then apologises to some of the gang and said that he will do better Then suddenly Effy gets a phone call from Panda, Panda is screaming and excitement and joy saying The suspension has been dropped she can come back tomorrow

(Effy phone goes off) Effy: Hello

Panda: guess what Effy

Effy: what

Panda: I’m coming back tomorrow the case has been dropped and Cook been excluded from six form YHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Effy: Ok I get it I got to go ok bye (Call ends)

Cook: when this police tags off me we have to meet up as soon as possible so I can apologise to some of the gang

So I am going to just explain how the story would probably end Lauren will not be in event as JJ is with Effy but unfortunately JJ would get killed off the show by Dr John Foster and Cook and Freddie would get revenge on Dr Foster for killing JJ the gang is unsure why Cook and Freddie have just vanished? The both of them is on the run from police.

Which I be working on doing a what if?? Freddie was in skins Rise
